I'd say go see Kmaps, I got the 200 remap and the ZT can live with the wifes Jag XFS 3.0 V6. Its a no brainer to me, its much more driveable and that's saying something as it was lovely to drive before.

Thanks for all replies. I think my 1.8T is rated at 148Hp so I presume the advert is saying I can expect a 15 - 20% increase on that. Whilst I don't expect the same performance from a full £200 - £300 remap (if one exists) I did sort of like the plug and play side of it.

:shrug: it does look a bit more promising than those small OBD2 Plug ins - which i assume are all nonsense :D - there's only really one way to find out if it actually works :D
the fact it plugs in to the MAP Sensor suggests it could be a valid Performance Chip :shrug:
K-Maps (ex Z&F) here - https://www.kmaps.co.uk/mg-zt-turbo :cool:

So 15 - 20% of 148 would up it to around 160+. Guess I'm hoping a bit much for £77 quid.
